Possible New Build(£400 budget)

[InTeL-iNsIdE]

Can you connect via ethernet and then let windows download the drivers for your wireless card ? works for me everytime

[kurosagi01]

yeah i have tried downloading the drivers from belkin website it didn't work and i normally download all the drivers 1st before any format and put them on my memory stick so i'd be prepared automaticlly.
And i agree the Casecom does look good but i don't understand why people criticizes something because its an generic/Asian brand that nobody has ever heard i mean gigabyte is a asian brand but its exceptional?
Thats kind of stereotypical isn't it i mean i have had a generic case before i bought my silverstone case and it was really good and the build wasn't flimsy i am willing to give that casecom ago.

I've no idea either, especially when it comes to cases.

Unlike cheaper electrical items there's not really much that can go wrong ha ha.

Looks to have good air flow as well : ]

I always give "unknown" brands a chance, after all the big brands of today started off small, if you don't give these other brands a try you'll never know.

exactly thats what i think too although for extra £5-6 you could get a Coolermaster elite 330 black or a elite 334.
330- http://www.ebuyer.com/product/146337
334- http://www.ebuyer.com/product/160805#

I am willing to give the casecom a try if anyone want me to after all i love experimenting specially with desktop its my hobbie, if the casecom turned out good i would laugh at some people for being stereotypical about unknown companys even though every company has started small from scratch. Casecom is quite big in Asia in my opinion

[pantherx12]

I think the casecom looks nicer then those two anyway.

As I said if your not happy with it I'll take it off your hands.

Because as someone with a dremel and lots of spare time, I can make cases work how I want them too

well i will give it ago if i get lot of votes of support =p well i know you'll support me if i do get this case.

[pantherx12]

Well I think you'd get a +1 from aCid as well, we were talking about the case earlier.

We think for the price its the best looking/most practical case you can get.

[kurosagi01]

well i would have to wait till 20th for them to get them in stock O.o and i will find out if my friend does get money this thursday so what to do,just let you know i'm not very patient man =p
I do like the CM 334 it does nicer than 300 i dunno why it looks similar to big brother the 690

[pantherx12]

Can always just have your rig in a cardboard box til the case gets arrives.

Up to yuo though dude, it is after all your money.

[kurosagi01]

true it is up to me,after watching couple videos of a CM 334 it does look pretty good and someone fitted a GTX260 into it so a HD5770 wouldn't have a problem fitting in the case.
heres the vid:

Why can't ebuyer have red led fans i'm bored of seeing blue LEDs

Well anyways should i go with this with a corsair 450W psu which cost £408(thats meant to be a xilence 120mm not a blue led 120mm)


Or the corsair 400w and replace that cpu filter thing on side panel with a 80mm red led fan which cost £400 altogether:

[choppy]

there nothing wrong with casecom cases.

ive got this one: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/115479

and it does the job, the only thing is its not made for cable management. im changing it for an antec 300 cos it also cant fit ina xigmatek s1283 otherwise its a perfect case for like £10 when i bought it!

[pantherx12]

My friend has a casecom case too, variation of that one you just posted, slightly differentside panel, different front panel but same case.

[kurosagi01]

well i never said there was any problem with a casecom,i think i'm going stick with that build with the corsair 400W psu now that i am convinced that the 5770 will work perfectly with it so i'm going go with the build with red led fans. Now all i need is hope my friend does get enough money(god please) and then next week i can order the components and then wait for delivery

well i would think that the 5770 is a great card, more likely to out perform a 4850 but at lower power usage

only advantage of getting a 4850 would be to save money but then you would need to spend the saved money on a slightly better psu so it works out about the same

plus the 5770 has DX 11 and will probly retain more value

I swear you can get a HDD with 32MB instead of that crummy 16MB tbh. Only a fiver difference.

I didnt say that, for vista and win 7 the best solution i have found for installing wireless drivers which are hard to find is to connect to the internet and then go to device manager, find your wireless card, right click update drivers and then let windows search the internet for them. A lot of them dont list vista/x64/win 7 drivers on their site, but most of the time windows will find the correct chipset drivers, even though its a belkin wireless card the chipset will be from someone like realtec or atheros.

Its worked with wireless cards I have had and have spent hours trying to find working ones by trawling the internet myself. Just a thought anyway

[kurosagi01]

true extra £5 for a 32MB cache one.
would these ram work with that MSI motherboard:
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/178942
If so then i could get the WE 500GB black which is 7200 with 32MB cache

Nice drive

[kurosagi01]

would those corsair ram work on the msi motherboard?

[InnocentCriminal]

I wouldn't see why not, just checking now.... doesn't even have a RAM compatibility chart.

I wouldn't worry about it tbh.

Nor me, tho it is only 1 stick of 2Gb so you will be running single channel until you get another stick.

[InnocentCriminal]

That's a good point, I didn't actually notice that. Too busy hard at work!

[kurosagi01]

well they don't sell 2x1GB sticks DDR3 in ebuyer,if there is a good am2+ motherboard then maybe but then again DDR3 would be a better option since all the am2+ motherboard around £50 are all MATX right?
1 stick should be enough for now although it be better with 2 sticks

[InnocentCriminal]

Honestly, I doubt you'd notice that much of a difference with only having single channel RAM tbh. Look at it as a positive thing, when you get an extra £30 available you'll be able to bung in another 2GB stick and have 4GB leaving you room for another 2 sticks bringing you up to 8GB if you ever need that much.

Still set on Vista or will you be moving over to 7?

[pantherx12]

I say buy 2 corsair ddr3 sticks, if you ever want to OC you ram later just buy some heatsinks.
